Organizer: Youth Climate Corps

Frustrated by the job market?

Unemployed? Tired of sending applications into the void? Employers demand entry-level experience—but how are you supposed to get it without connections, expensive networking events, or unpaid internships? The sustainability and green jobs sector needs skilled youth, but the door is locked for too many.

​To solve this problem, we’ve decided to organize youth at Toronto Climate Week for entry-level jobs. Yes, we are actually providing an experience you can put on your resume AND a letter of recommendation. 📝 ( Canvassing, Video recording, booth setup for check in, research MP organization greenwashing practices, draft facts sheet.. )

​We are hiring you for a day from June 1st to June 6th, while not paid yet (if the youth climate corps pilot was fully invested at 1 billion by the federal government, you would be paid a living wage while learning!).

​On JUNE 6TH, join us at a social event with food and fun activities to reflect on your experience and celebrate the wins and the Youth Climate Corps campaign. Get your certification of entry-level jobs and letter of recommendation!

You will also learn what's happening for green jobs in Toronto and join in the launch of the policy paper of a Yellowhead Institute paper!

​I understand when I attend an event I enter an area where photography, audio, and video recording may occur. By entering the event premises, I consent to such recording media and its release, publication, exhibition or reproduction.

Organizer: David Suzuki Foundation

As climate emergencies like floods, heat waves and storms become more frequent and severe, one thing has become clear: in emergency situations, we can’t rely on our governments and services to respond immediately. Most governments state that people should be prepared to care for themselves and their families for 72 hours after an emergency strikes.

But emergency preparedness isn’t just about protecting our individual households. It’s about getting to know your neighbours and making a plan to work together so everyone is cared for and no one is left behind.

Organizer: Seniors For Climate Action Now

In Benefit of SCAN- Seniors For Climate Action Now

Canadian songwriter, playwright, author, activist and former politician James Gordon has a history of producing topical ‘one-man’ shows. His last, “James Gordon’s Emergency Climate Musical” was a success across the country, so much so that there’s demand for a reboot since the show didn’t actually seem to solve that crisis. In looking at the possibilities, James observed that nothing can really be accomplished in climate mitigation until we work to remove the biggest obstacle in keeping our planet sustainable and thriving: the Oligarchy!

From time to time, a voice emerges that helps us see the world differently. Not by offering easy answers, but by inviting us to pause, listen, and reconsider the stories we tell about change, progress, and our place within the living world.

For many people working at the edges of climate action, social innovation, new economic thinking, and cultural transformation, Dr. Báyò Akómoláfé has become one of those voices. His work is poetic, provocative, and deeply grounding. Rather than urging us to move faster or work harder to fix the world, Báyò asks a more unsettling and generative question: What if the transformations we seek require us to ‘slow down’, and learn anew from a world migrating from the conveniences of systemic legibility?

On May 13, we have a rare opportunity to gather at the Centre for Social Innovation (CSI) for an evening of reflection and conversation with Báyò as we explore what it might mean to navigate this moment of planetary transition with humility, imagination, and care.

Organizer: East End Acts

Join us on Sunday, May 10 for a special Mother's Day screening: one that calls us to unite the movement for climate justice with the struggle against the forces of imperialism, colonialism, militarism, fascism, and genocide, all in the name of defending Mother Earth.

Earth's Greatest Enemy is the second feature film by journalist Abby Martin — a groundbreaking work of anti-imperialist environmental filmmaking that took Abby and co-director Mike Prysner on a five-year fact-finding journey. Exempt from international climate agreements and rarely scrutinized in mainstream reporting, the Pentagon is the world’s single largest institutional polluter—spewing carbon, contaminating water, and scarring landscapes across the globe. Combining investigative journalism, striking visuals, and stories from impacted communities, this film challenges audiences to rethink the hidden costs of a global military empire and its planetary consequences.
